Precentation from Secretary Steven Chu, US Department of Energy. At the Clean Energy Ministerial, Washington 20 july 2010.

1. Driving Global Progress
on Clean Energy
Secretary Steven Chu
Clean Energy Ministerial
Washington, D.C.
20 July 2010

2. Represented here today:
80% of world
energy use
4 billion people
$50 trillion in GDP

3. Even as we pursue comprehensive energy
legislation here at home and a binding international
agreement, we’re taking strong action now
Today, we’re announcing significant initiatives in:
• Energy efficiency
• Clean energy
• Energy access
Many countries are taking leadership roles

4. Energy efficiency is the “first fuel” of the
Projected 2030 clean energy revolution

5. Today, we’re launching the
Global Energy Efficiency Challenge
Initiatives in: appliances, buildings,
vehicles, and Smart Grid,

6. Standards stimulate technology:
Refrigerator efficiency standards and performance
The role of
technological
innovation is
constantly
underestimated in
its ability to lower
costs.

8. Residential electricity use per person –
U.S. and California (kWh/yr)
United States
California
From 1973 to 2008, the
GDP/capita in California
has doubled.

10. The Department of Energy is
systematically enforcing appliance
standards for the first time
More than 40 DOE
attorneys volunteering to
work on certification cases
2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010
We’ve issued the first:
test notices, subpoenas, consent decrees, notices of civil penalty, notices of
noncompliance, and defeated a court challenge over improper use of the
Energy Star logo

11. ARPA-E Goal: Cut cooling energy
consumption by 25 – 40%
Strong salt solution
(LiBr) Novel approaches to
cooling, including an
absorption-osmosis
Weak cooling cycle
solution
Reverse
Osmosis
Water
Water (Refrigerant) & LiBr (absorbent)

12. The Super-efficient Equipment and
Appliance Deployment initiative will help
transform the global appliance market
Cost-effective international
appliance efficiency measures
could reduce electricity use equal
to 1,300 power plants by 2030

13. Buildings consume 40% of energy in U.S.:
A new way of designing and constructing buildings.

• Oxygen sensor
• Air pressure sensor
• Air temperature sensor
• Engine temp. sensor
• Throttle position sensor
• Knock sensor

14. We need ratings based on
LEED ratings are based on design performance,
not actual performanceperformance Intensity)

15. White roofed
buildings:
Sunlight energy is reflected
back into space rather than
heating up buildings and
homes in the summer.
Santorini, Greece
Dallas, Texas
Retrofitting urban roofs and
pavements with solar-
reflective materials is equal
to eliminating carbon
emissions from all
automobiles for 11 years.

16. The Global Superior Energy Performance
Partnership will help large buildings and
industrial facilities manage their energy use
Includes a “Cool Roofs Task Group”
Pilot companies have over $600 billion in annual sales

17. Strong light-duty vehicle fuel economy standards in
place in many countries through 2015

18. Energy densities of chemical fuels
Mj / liter and the best commercial battery
A rechargeable battery
that can last for 5,000
deep discharges and 5x
higher storage capacity
will electrify personal
vehicle transportation
Mj / kg
Body Fat 38 Mj/kg 35 Mj/liter
Kerosene, jet fuel 43 Mj/kg 32 Mj/liter
Lithium ion battery 0.54 Mj/kg 0.9 Mj/liter

19. Question: What
does a Boeing 777
have in common
with a Bar-tailed
Godwit?
Boeing 777
Answer: Both can fly
non-stop 11,000 km.
At take-off, the fuel
weighs ~ 50% of
19
Bar-tailed Godwit their total weight.

20. IEA: Meeting current
national targets could
lead to 20 million EVs
on the road by 2020
The Electric Vehicles Initiative will help
countries deliver on their electric vehicle targets

21. Smart meters give
consumers more control Blackouts have precursors. Phasors
over their energy use would have given grid operators 30-
40 minutes warning and prevented
2003 blackout in U.S.
The International Smart Grid Action Network will
promote seamless global smart grid development

22. The Global Energy Efficiency
Challenge will save
500 “Rosenfelds”
500 power plants avoided

23. The Clean Energy Education and
Empowerment Women’s Initiative
Leaders from academia,
government, & industry committed
to empowering women and girls
through education and energy
Less than 20% of the
professional energy workforce
today is comprised of women

24. We are making announcements today on:
Clean Energy Supply Energy Access
Renewable Energy Ethanol for domestic use
Denmark, Germany and Spain Brazil
Carbon capture, use & storage Solar LEDs
United Kingdom and Australia United States and Italy

25. I’m pleased to thank the hosts of
the next Ministerials
2011: United Arab Emirates
2012: United Kingdom

"We came all this way to explore the moon
and the most important thing is that we
discovered the Earth.”
